Effects of low central fuelling on density and ion temperature profiles have been investigated using negative ion based neutral beam injection and electron cyclotron heating (ECH) in reversed shear plasmas on JT-60U. Strong internal transport barrier (ITB) was maintained in density and ion temperature profiles, when central fuelling was decreased by switching positive ion based neutral beam inj...

Using a colloidal silica density gradient, HeLa cells in mitosis were found to have a density of 1.040-1.046 g/cc, lighter than the remaining interphase cells. The mitotic cells could be harvested and cultured after centrifugation, showing growth synchrony by measurement of a peak in mitotic index 21 hr after establishing the culture. By using Colcemid or vinblastine sulfate, HeLa cells were ar...

Unlike manufacturers of other density gradient media, Alere Technologies AS do not have to offer special, more expensive, low endotoxin-containing products; all their density gradient media have always been, and continue to be, produced to the same high rigorous standards. For every batch produced, a Certificate of Analysis is available at: www.axis-shield-density-gradientmedia.com The high den...

Background: Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa differs among males, as well as spermatozoa. Also, decreased telomere length in spermatozoa of infertile men is associated with the reduction of fertility potential and embryo quality. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC)...

Computed tomography was used to determine the vertical gradient of physical density in peripheral lung tissue of 12 healthy supine subjects, at total lung capacity and residual volume. At total lung capacity the mean (SD) density of peripheral lung tissue at the level of the mid right atrium was 0.0715 (0.017) g/cm3 and the vertical gradient of density was slight. At residual volume the density...

One way of improving the resolution of particles by size is to minimize the difference in RCF between the top and bottom of the sample. Practically this is achieved by layering the sample as a narrow band over a continuous density gradient. This is called rate-zonal gradient (sedimentation velocity) centrifugation; the conditions are chosen such that ρρ always remains greater than ρl. In a cont...

A small salt gradient solar pond with an average surface area of 1.8 m2 and depth of 0.8m has been tested. The depths of storage, gradient and surface zones are 0.3, 0.27 and 0.07m, respectively. The temperature of the storage zone for the summer days reaches its maximum of 65˚ C after about 8 days. Daily variation of the storage zone temperature was about 8˚C which is due to small volume of th...

Synthesis of functionally gradient coating was the main goal of researches to cover some deficiencies of metallic coatings. In this study, a new strategy for generating functionally gradient coatings of nickel-chromium on a carbon steel substrate using pulse electrodeposition has been presented. The gradual changes of the duty cycle and pulse frequency were used to generate the functionally gra...

We present a Thomas-Fermi-inspired density scaling under which electron densities of atomic, molecular, or condensed matter become both large and slowly varying, so that semiclassical approximations and second-order density gradient expansions are asymptotically exact for the kinetic and exchange energies. Thus, even for atoms and molecules, density-functional approximations should recover the ...
